[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10:49 pp, I am not sure what you are being told but there are families who are being counseled out in middle and high school because their children are not "BASIS material" and will not be able to get into the top universities. If this is not your experience then there's definitely a double standard.[/quote] My kid is struggling at BASIS in 7th; not passing 2 classes, and getting a D in another despite doing well in 5th and 6th. We've spent LOTS of time with teachers and administrators, and no one has counseled us out, or mentioned college but we are leaving of our own accord. It's clear to us that this child, while bright, is simply not ready not interested in such an accelerated course load. Which is fine. There was no way to know that before we got there. The child's sibling is doing great in BASIS' high school. Different kids, different needs and interests. [/quote]
